Abstract excerpt
Interstitial cells of Cajal in the myenteric plexus region (ICC-MyP) form a network and generate basal pacemaking electrical activity. This morphological feature leads us to believe that these cells may be essential for the coordinating actions of gastrointestinal (GI) motility. We aim to propose a new method for functional assessment of ICC electrical activity and its network. Field potentials in a approximately...
